Stobak's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Calgary's Episode 4]

This series has a lot of potential. The problem is, a lot of the jokes are hit and miss.. Other than that, good job!

[No-Brainer 5: Racing]

Excellent Job! Nice progression of plot, and good style of animation. It would be even better if you optimized your sound a bit better ( it gets distorted in some places ). As for the music starting to early, try making sure that your sound for the music is set to "stream" and not "event". That was a problem I had before..I think its under the "properties" dialogue box, when you select the first frame of where your music starts. Hope that helps!

[SME: SME]

Once again..Random screenshots, poor voice-overs and un-inspired gay jokes. This is a slide show..Not an animation..and not a work of art.

[SME: Doug]

This was done poorly and is desperate need of some actual funny jokes. There is no animation involved..Only pixelated screenshots with bad voice overs.. The majority of these could be summed up like easily: Random Screenshots + Poor Voice overs + Gay jokes = This... Try putting more effort into these.

[It's Just Science]

I'm really diggin the style of animation! I just wish this had a good punch line at the end..It feels like it ended way too quickly. I enjoyed the voice overs, though. Good job!

Aqlex responds:

It was definitely short, I do agree, but who knows, maybe I'll return to these characters with something longer one day? I'm glad you enjoyed the style and the voice acting though! I do agree, the punchline wasn't very...punchy =P. I shall work on that.

[Moon Horse 4: The Conq...]

This was way too short..If your trying to tell a story, then at least put the effort into it. The animation style was subpar, and is in desperate need of some color. Your choice to end these abruptly and "shroud" your play button does not demonstrate style or purpose..Its just sloppy. The abrupt ending would work if it made sense..It doesnt. The same goes for the play button. No one should have to look for the button that gets your flash started.. I hope to see some improvement in your next one.

falling responds:

You probably shouldn't watch the next one then. I make these for fun and for my friends in like 30 minutes for a laugh. Regardless, an animation doesn't "need" color. And the whole thing is sloppy. That's kind of it's deal. Calm down man, this is obviously a fun bull shitty cartoon.

[AGAIN]

Nice for something you did in one night. Some suggestions:
Pay attention to how your sticks move, and make it more fluid. Everything seemed to play very slowly. Experiment with easing and natural movement. Looking forward to your next one.

JspidermanP responds:

Thanks, I am very quickly realizing how hard it is to make stick animations look good. I was trying to make his climb look labored due to all the water working against him so I wanted it to look a bit slow, but I know what you mean, it does look very choppy. Thanks for the advice and I will work harder on his next round of training to make it look a lot smoother.

[The Turtle]

I enjoyed this a bit, so I would say "Mission Accomplished". Its always nice to pull something from the archive, but its really no excuse to submit something you openly admit isnt "amazing". . If your going to pull something you did awhile back, then take the opportunity to go back and apply the knowledge you have now. Go through and give it all the polish and attention it needs to be worthy of submission.

[Stupid,stupid,stupid]

This was animated very poorly, and could use a lot of work. Expirement wth frame-by-frame animation and better sound quality. Creating a project with better dimensions wouldnt hurt either..

[KTK NY Catastrophe Part 2]

You have a very unique and interesting style of animation. I was a bit confused though..Sometimes the lip-syncing and body movements were done very well ( like when they were asking combo jr to leave) and other times it was done poorly.. Try being a bit more consistent with your art work. Its easier to notice the flaws in an animation, when the quality keeps shifting between good and bad.. Looking forward to your next one.

thank you so much! :)
